Alexei Popyrin vs Novak Djokovic Prediction
Popyrin has a shot in this match considering his play over the last few weeks, which includes a Canadian title. Popyrin was also comPetitive against Djokovic in past meetings, and Novak better get his first serve in play at a higher percentage if he hopes to make a title push. With that said, experience and track record matters. Djokovic nearly never loses early in a grand slam, while Popyrin is 0-6 in grand slam third round matches. At some point, you have to show me something before I can put my money on you.
Give me Djokovic in 4 sets.
